I'm starting out on a new web site enhancement, dynamic maps, on my web
site pages for Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad.  I've got the mapping
modules working, now I need the juice.  Has anyone developed and/or is a
gazetteer available for his travels as portrayed in The Innocents
Abroad?  I am aware of the Quaker City Itinerary and intend to start
with it, but there are so many more points of interest discussed in the
book I would like to include.  An index of the book would be close to
ideal, listing all the sites.  I need to determine latitude and
longitudes for each point and compose some discussion of each.  I would
look into the Day By Day publication but it's way beyond my budget of $0
to spend and I don't believe it is in a nearby library.

My current methodology is to scan through the book and note each point.
I don't really mind the thought of rereading the book again.  I had just
hoped to save a bit of time.

I have seen some interesting mapping pages of the voyage but they
present the entire journey on a single map and my intention is to be of
a much finer granularity.  My web site has an individual page for each
chapter of the book each with a unique map.  It is my intention to map
all the points of interest mentioned in each chapter on these individual
maps.
